  • I have mastoiditis, I was diagnosed today?

    I was diagnosed today. I have pain all over my head, my right ear has been bothering me alot, and i lose my hearing at times. My ear just feels strange. I have major headaches, migraines, pain in the right side of my face and down my neck. I have a fever off and on, and I have fainted a few times.

    I feel dizzy alot. I have not had an ear infection that I know of, I have not been treated for any infection in years. I was in a car accident and I wonder if that caused this. My only concern is what types of treatment there are, and will I fully recover, how dangerous can this be. I am seeing a specialist on saturday.

  • My dog has been diagnosed with inflamatory bowel disease and she also has ulcers. We have taken her to the?

    vet and many tests were done to determine this. The doctor wants us to give her steroids besides several other medications that she is taking. We are really concerned about giving her the steroids, as there are alot of side effects and some of them are severe. There is no cure for this condition, and our dog is no longer in pain. Is there anyone who has gone through this with their dog, and did you try the steroids and did it help or make it worse. Our dog is a morkie and only 5 pounds.

    Even though the dose for the steroids was according to her weight, we are really nervous about giving

    her the medication. The vet said that some dogs do well on it and others don't and the vet also mentioned she has lost some patients as a result. To take the risk or not is hard for me to decide.

    When we first noticed our dog was in pain, we took her to the vet right away. She was really bloated,

    and that has gone down alot, and she isn't in pain and on a proper diet now, and we are also giving her other medications, but the vet said they are like a bandaid. She wants us to try the steroids, but since my dog is doing well and not in pain, I don't want to risk making the situation worse. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    she is having chemo, is stage four a death sentence, especially for someone at this age. I don't want to give up hope, but I guess I'm trying to prepare myself. Thanks.

  • Whiplash question. I was in a car accident, my husband was driving and I was the passenger.?

    We were hit from behind by a drunk driver. I had pain in my neck right after, but it was mild, not severe.

    My condition got much worse in the days after and still is. I got a lawyer and I am getting therapy for this. When I was at therapy 2 days ago, I was complaining about being so dizzy, and one of the people working there, looked at the back of my neck and just below and underneith my hair he said it

    was really red, he said I had a large bruise. When he presses on it I feel pain in my arm but my concern is what is this red mark. He said he had never seen anyone with whiplash have this type of buising. He wants me to see my doctor and I am going to, but I am just wondering if anyone knows what it might be, my x-ray report said there was no fracture, but there is a space and there was mention of a spinal infection. I am having a ct scan done in a few hours, but I won`t know what the results are for awhile. Any info on the red make on my neck or if anyone has had a spinal infection and this sounds like it may be, please give me your opinion, thanks.

  • need legal advice about sexual abuse, can I sue?

    My father sexually abused me, beat me and more. My mother knew about it all and did nothing.

    My father was arrested in 1992 or 93. He did not serve time in jail. A plea bargin was made without my knowledge and it was said that it was in my best interest to just accept it then. My father attacked me again in 2008 and I had a break down after and I had to quit my job. I have taken medications to help but all I really wanted was to die, I felt like it was my only way to deal with it.

    I lost the person I was, I relive it daily and after all these years I can't wrap my mind around it.

    I want to know if I can have him charged again, can my mother be charged for doing nothing to help me when I was a kid, and can I sue him for the damage it has had on me to date?

  • I'm having night sweats, I wake up several times a night feeling hot as hell and it keeps me up about 10?

    minutes each time. It can happen 3 to 5 or more times a night and I have become very moody. I think it's menopause and I do plan to see my doc this week, but do any of u have any tips or previous experiences that might help me. What can my doc do for me also.

    Will I always have these night sweats? I have endometriosis so taking anything with estrogen will cause me to have major pain, is that what doctors give to women going through menopause or are there other options. I am so tired of not sleeping through the night. I feel so

    tired now all the time. All helpful info is much appreciated. Thanks.

  • My male quaker has been pulling out the females feathers. He chases her in the cage and I'm not sure if it's?

    fighting going on or something else. She is 2 and he is 10 months.

    I know their sex for sure. Recently in the past few days the male has been speaking very well, and is also a quick learning. The female speaks to, but just in the past few days the male seems to have matured. I'm concerned about him pulling out her feathers, I don't know if it hurts her and if they will grow back. I am hoping for some advice from someone with quakers. Thanks.

  • I have pain in my left arm from my elbow to my shoulder and sometimes in my neck. It's been like this for?

    months and my doctor says it's just my muscle. I think there is more to it, cause it always aches for no reason, I have not injuried it at all, and I worry that it could be related to my heart in some way. I'm 43 and I just can't get my doc to do anything about it. Anyone had this problem or have any idea what would cause the pain. Thanks

  • I have a male and a female quaker, the female has been masterbating alot, and I didn't know they did that?

    until a friend told me her bird does the same thing. She is almost 2.

    The male will be 1 in a few months. We want to try to breed them, and I'm just wondering what the masterbation means, she didn't do it before we got the male. Is it a sign that she wants to breed, or is there more to it. Is there any danger if we put a nest in the cage if they are not ready, or will nature just take it's course. I rely on other bird lovers for some help cause books don't explain everything.

    Thanks in advance.

  • do medications for depression really work. I have tried zoloft in the past and I had an awful experience. I?

    was starting to feel happier, and then I ended up feeling worse then I had before. Are all these drugs similar. I ask cause my doc keeps trying me all them to help my depression, but nothing works well, or I can't take it due to the side effects, which there are so many.

    How does one get over chronic depression without meds. I hate being on meds but I don't know what to do. I never realized how serious depression can be and the affects it can have in ones life.

    Any info would be helpful. I'm just trying to get though one day at a time, and it's so hard.

  • am I having a mental break down? So many issues since I was a child, sexual abuse, and many other types for?

    the past 43 years. I am seeing my doctor now, for depression, I beleive I have had a break down, doc says I have chronic depression.

    I quit my job due to years of abuse there. I caught my managers son stealing years ago, and over the past 7 years I have been demoted, have not had a raise in 7 years, my supervisor told me last month that he was asked to keep me down and say no to anything I asked for at work. I would get chest pain each day before I got to work, and I had to take meds over the years due to the stress at work. I can't take the company to court cause my husband works for the same place.

    I don't know what to do about that.

    I cry all the time, or I feel just spaced out. I feel alone, and I can't see anything positive in my future. I feel like a burden to my husband.

    I sleep alot but I'm up several times during the night. All I think about is dying. I feel like there is no point in anything cause all I've ever known is abuse in one manner or another. I've only been honest

    all my life, cause I know how important it is to me.

    My doc thinks that I have reached my limit and I've had a break down.

    I've tried to many meds in the past such as zoloft and others and they don't help me at all. I'm wondering if it's because my whole life has been so full of abuse. I've heard of people having break downs, but until the past two weeks I didn't fully understand. I feel like my life has no purpose and I'm feeling so lost and out of control. I have no reason to get up, and all I do is think about my funeral. NO plans to do it, but that's all I think about. I'm going to see a phyciatrist cause

    after 43 years of keeping this inside of me, I feel like I need some help, but I'm not sure what to expect. Can people be helped with such long term problems. Has all these years of abuse done something to my brain. Right now all I do is make myself do one thing per day. I walk my dogs. That is it. I feel like I can't physically do anything. I'm confused, my memory is bad, I have alot of cramping, and the crying is off and on. All I want to really do is stay in bed. I'm watching my husband fall apart over me, and that only hurts me more. I reached my breaking point, and now what do I do.

    How my whole life seemed to take over my life in an instand is shocking to me, I've been under so much stress and I put this out there cause I hate how it's hurting my husband.
